    FedEx, for some reason, can't seem to learn where my house, the back half of a duplex, is. It does seem complicated at first, since it is the only address on the street, whereas all the other lots are backyards. UPS, however, has learned, and has no difficulty. FedEx can't figure it out and I've lived here for three years. Each time, they fail to deliver on time because they can't find the address and don't bother to call me.

    I should try a blackberry vape sometime. Is FLV Blackberry the one everyone likes a lot?

    FLV blackberry is new. I just got mine mixed but as I put hangsen Italian cream into the mix it needs some steep time... so I haven't tried it. I need to do an sft on it too, but haven't yet. I just guessed at what amount to use in my mix based on what concentration FLV normally is on average.

    But I don't think many have made conclusions on it... some may have but they are speedy if so.. lol. speedier than me for sure.

    I think I might have read some pretty positive reviews on it. I'm pretty sure that Session Drummer review guy gave it a really high score.

    yeah I think you and I ordered the same day, which was the first day it was available.

    it still seems kind of fast... someone would have had to start mixing with it the day they got it to say much...

    maybe a lot of people do... lol. I almost never get to anything that fast. I started 5 days ago with it... lol

    I'm having a similar problem with the USPS, it's a no win which ever way you go.
    I'll keep my fingers crossed, but over all these years I've never had a problem with FedEx, and only one with USPS.
    The USPS problem was with a Provari Radius, which in those days (and today too I suppose) was an expensive mod. It showed as delivered. I talked to the local postoffice, and it turned out it was delivered to the same house number (88) but at the next street. So, I walked over and the place had been sold, and had painters etc in it to prepare for the next owner. They'd all gone by the time I got there. Next day, the PO called and said they'd been there and retrieved my package and were on their way to my place. That's good service in my book. It was misdelivered because the normal delivery guy was on vacation, so the sub got confused.

    It seems that every time our po gets a new postmaster I have problems. Last one even came down to see if I really had a mail box that was accessible and if it was properly marked. Well geez I have only been here 20 years or so.....turns out the mailman doesn't like my road too much because its narrow. ?? Earlier this month I was expecting a package from a vendor who would only ship to street addresses. I usually use my PO box for all of my mail but this time I had to use my street address. I happened to check the usps tracking to see where it was and it said 'undeliverable unknown address/unknown person'. Spewing vendom, I raced to the po to find the same people working there that have been there for years. They know me and easily recalled my po box number and street address off the top of their heads. Turned out the same mail delivery person decided he didn't want to travel my road so he was sending the package back to sender. So I told them I would be happy to forfeit my po box and they could deliver ALL of my mail down my narrow road. Funny how they just happen to have the package in the back so they got it for me. IF they could remember my po box number and was too lazy to come down my narrow road they could have just left a notice in my po box for me to pick it up. And I told them that too. Come to find out my tenants have been having problems with them also. I have one who doesn't drive that depends on them to pick up and deliver the mail. He said that he waited for nine days in between times for when the mailman would come down. Aren't they suppose to come on a daily basis? So yeah, usps has gone to the pits.

    And don't get me started on DeadEX and the brown truck guys.....lol

    rant off/ thanks for listening.....lol

    Ordered seven flavors and 10 luer-lock needles from Wizard Labs. Yes, they cost a little more, but hopefully it gets here. Sounds like BCF is having troubles getting their shipments to their customers. And WL had most everything I was looking for, no "notify me" needed.
    I did order one new (to me) flavor to try - One-Shot Milkshake by Mulinberry. Never ordered any MB before....

    Here in France the postal service is ....ok ish. The worst offender is 'la Poste', the national carrier. If they can't raise a response from the gate they just write a collect note and it's happened too many times to be receiver error. Having said that they all put smallish packages in the letter box and I have never had much trouble with USPS, FedEx and DHL. DHL always comes down and knocks on the door. My absolute favourite though is Amazon... their delivery service is like they all should be...friendly, knock on door or leave in front of door....breath of fresh air.

    All in all a pretty good experience.

    If all of USPS could run like my local post office, the world would be a happier place. Those gals run a tight ship there. Once I receive notice that a package has left Ft. Worth for the local office, I know that I will receive it the next day, either in my box or at my front porch. Up to that point, it's a crap shoot.
